Help! Repeating RAM Error

If you purchase a new Ultra 4, Ultra 4 Plus or Pro 4 (NVX units are about gone out of the supply channel as they have not been in production for about a year) the best way is to transfer the data over a network. Perhaps you can borrow the NV+ over a weekend to copy your data over to the new unit. That is the fastest way to get the data onto your unit. If you borrow the work NV+, shut it down, removed the trays and drives, noting which bay each was in. (Post-It notes will work fine for this on a temporary basis). Do the same with yours so the drive you had in bay 1 of your unit goes into bay 1 of the borrowed unit etc.

Depending on the size of the volume, it can take some time. I would divide the size of your array by 10 MB/s as a rough guide. It may be faster, and it may be slower.

You said you had found another NAS on Craigslist. What model? Does the memory module that was in it work in it still? If you install a single test drive (not part of your array) will it boot and initialize?

FWIW - if you have a bone yard of laptops available, the memory module from my HP zv5330us works in my NV+ (Infrant) I upgraded the laptop to a 1GB module from a 256MB module years ago. When I discovered the numbers on the module (circa 2005) matched the recommended module on the now removed list, I tried it and ran the memory test several times. I had the 1GB in my NV+ for several months until I needed the laptop again, when I returned the original 256MB module back into the NAS so I could use the laptop.
